Why is uranium used in nuclear power production?
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?
No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
Radioactive element used for nuclear energy?
One of the radioactive elements used for nuclear energy is 235U92, commonly stated as U-235.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay the energy released in the reaction comes from what?
The energy that comes from the radioactive decay of an atom can come from the electrons and can come from the strong force inside the nucleus.
What is produced by splitting the atom of a radioactive material?
nuclear energy
What is necessary for production of nuclear energy?
Radioactive material
What decay causes geothermal energy?
Naturally occurring radioactive decay deep inside the Earth creates geothermal energy.
What are the consequences of nuclear energy?
1. Production of electric power 2. production of very highly radioactive waste
Why is uranium used in nuclear power production?
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
Why nuclear power is not the best way?
Bcoz production of nuclear energy form harmful radioactive elements.
When a radioactive isotope decays it gives off energy and produces a product called?
Another isotope is produced.
How is kinetic energy related to heat production?
Friction creates heat when an object rubs against another very quickly. So, if the kinetic energy is higher, then there is a more higher chance of heat production.
What processes do not depend on spontaneous radioactive decay?
The energy production of the sun.The energy production in nuclear reactors.
Thorium-232 undergoes a series kf radioactive decay bu emitting energy and small particles from the atomic nucleus Which could be the stable daughter product?
Lead-208, which is not radioactive
What are the uses of radioactive elements in 1.medicine 2. industries?
Medical scanning technology, energy production, as the fission of radioactive atoms releases large amounts of energy Technetium, Actinium, Astatine, Radon, Plutonium, Neptunium, Uranium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Berkelium, Curium, and Protactinium.
Why is a sample of radioactive material always a little warmer than its surroundings?
Radioactive material is warmer than the surrounding material because radioactive material is constantly breaking down. When material breaks down, that means that energy is constantly getting released. When energy is released, it produces warmth.
What do we call an object that produces its own heat and light energy?
the sun creates it's on heat because it already fire
